Advanced Meter Security (ION 8000 Series)

Available on ION 8000 Series meters, this level of security allows you to configure up to 16 users, each with unique access rights to the meter. Access rights consist of the following levels where you can:

Read: view any parameter except the security configuration.

Peak Demand Reset: perform a reset of peak demand values (for example, sliding window demand for kW, kVAR, kVA etc.).

Timesync: set the time on the meter.

Full Meter Configuration: configure any programmable register on the meter except for registers related to the security setup, registers that result in a demand reset, or actions that place the meter in test mode.

Test Mode: put the meter into test mode.

Advanced Security Configuration: configure Advanced security for the meter, full meter configuration must also be set to YES.

When configuring users, in most cases you must set Read access to YES. However, you can set up a user without read access; for example, you may want to create a user who can only timesync the meter. In some cases (such as Advanced security configuration access) you must set multiple access options to YES. When you are configuring Advanced security, the software rejects unacceptable or unsafe user configurations.

NOTE

Use only ION Enterprise or ION Setup v1.1 to configure Advanced security. ION Setup has a Setup Assistant that guides you through Advanced security setup.
